There is a bunch of related surnames that exist in different forms in various parts of the country – all over North India, South Kanara district of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu. Perhaps more, if I do more research.
It is not immediately apparent that the surnames are derived from the same source. But once I mention it, it will sort of “pop out”.
The people bearing the surnames aren’t really related, nor do they think of themselves as belonging to the same caste.
But typically, they belong to the business class.
The surname comes from a Sanskrit word, meaning “merchant”
One of the North Indian surnames is also a generic Hindi word which sort of means merchant.
Give me the bunch of related surnames. Just giving me the North Indian or South Indian versions will not do. I need at least one of both.
Bonus points if you can give me the Sanskrit word also.
